Can't use left & right arrow keys in cell editors about slickgrid HOT 5 CLOSED

I played around with fixing it, but that messes with keyboard navigation. Should we assume that if the caret is displayed, the left/right cell navigation should be suspended, or is there a more elaborate test needed?

I think this should work in a similar way to Google Docs and Excel; the arrow keys navigate between cells, as soon as you type anything the value is entered into the cell. Pressing an arrow key at this stage will commit the edit and navigate to another cell. However if you hit F2, the arrow keys no longer navigate between cells but navigate the contents of the cell. Hitting enter commits the edit, or hitting escape cancels the edit, and takes you out of this mode and returns to navigating between cells.

We discussed this with Michael in a private conversation and agreed on exactly this approach. All that is left now is to implement it. Little details :-).

Been working on this, and an autocomplete cell editor, the past few days and have just sent a couple of pull requests to Michael. In the meantime, you can take a look at my fork http://github.com/ChrisRichards/SlickGrid

Fixed in http://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/commit/64b2fc0b13a1c78c08bf63043b5b5c0163c3ae5b

Note that each editor is in charge of deciding which keys are meaningful in their context.
